The Syracuse Orange men’s basketball season is upon us, as the team will unofficially get things started tomorrow night from the Carrier Dome. The Orange will have two exhibition games prior to opening the season up against Virginia on Nov. 6.
To little surprise, Syracuse is starting the season unranked, but it did receive three votes in the preseason AP Top 25. That, and Jim Boeheim’s club was pegged at No. 51 in Ken Pom.
In case you missed it, the Orange also received six votes in Thursday’s preseason USA TODAY Coaches Poll.
